The exhibition Maleri shows a selection of Troels Wörsel’s (1950 – 2018) significant and groundbreaking paintings from the 1980s – few of which have been exhibited in Denmark until now. The exhibition highlights his crucial role in a time where the relevance of painting had to be legitimized and reinvented.

The exhibition is accompanied by a talk programme and a small publication will be available featuring new texts by Jacob Wamberg and Henrik B. Andersen, as well as a re-print of Troels Wörsel's text “Notes on Painting” from 1986.
